Re: After the convention
Gary, challenging words! BHC was good. Very good, actually. And you know what? Church (as Paul remarked when people compliment him on his "nice church", he replies "yes they are - some of them, anyway") is about people, us. And it's about fellowship and worship. Some forms (natural systems) are better at that. For instance, I'm not convinced that going along week after week in a big congregation, and listening (passively!!!) to others - generally the "big wigs" in our "church" - praying and speaking ("prophesying") is necessarily all that there can be to worship and close fellowship. BUT, such a set-up is very good for teaching (especially if you have Paul Barker doing the teaching). And of course, teaching is fine but as you say Gary, there's a life to be lived!
Over to you Gary (this could develop like a game of tennis - you serve one up, we return, volley - who's scoring???)
Michele, we met Jonathon last night - great kid. Know what? He knows Dave's sister, Carolyn. They both help out in the creche. We belong to a great family!
